Today we’re highlighting #AMR research in water bodies.
AMR bacteria were detected in the brackish waters of the Greifswald Bodden. We’re deeply grateful to have received the Undine Award 2025 for our #OneHealth work on AMR in aquatic environments! 🌐

What can everyone do to help prevent #AMR? ✅
• Take antibiotics 𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐚 𝐝𝐨𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫’𝐬 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 and follow the instructions.
• Strengthen 𝐡𝐲𝐠𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐞 (handwashing, kitchen hygiene, etc.).
• 𝐍𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐞 of leftover antibiotics in toilets or drains.
➡ Every small action counts! 🌐

“Now or never: It’s time to act”
#AMR is one of the biggest global health challenges, causing thousands of deaths yearly. Resistant bacteria are found not only in hospitals but also in the environment.

We’re going blue for #AMR this week as #WAAW @who.int begins!
“Act Now: Protect Our Present, Secure Our Future.”
At @helmholtz-hioh.bsky.social, we study how antibiotic resistance develops & spreads in a #OneHealth context.

The first Vibrio isolates from the Baltic Sea are now growing on our plates. 🧫
By testing them, we aim to learn more about their characteristics and potential resistance patterns.
Exciting to see the first results taking shape.

We asked ChatGPT to create a comic-style illustration that sums up our research group and topics #AMR #OneHealth 💧🐄🌳🦌🚶‍♀️🦠— here’s the result. I think it captures it well! However, I wonder why we are all wearing shirts of the same color. 😅

Check out our latest work in Frontiers in Microbiology!

🔗 doi.org/10.3389/fmic...

We used #genomics, #transcriptomics, and #proteomics to uncover distinctive traits in #Kpneumoniae, offering insights that could support future diagnostics and therapies.

Thanks to all collaborators!

With the Baltic Sea right on our doorstep, we are beginning to investigate Vibrio species, some of which can be relevant opportunistic pathogens. Hopefully, we will gain exciting insights. The first infection this season in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania was reported yesterday.

Molecular biology methods are key to our daily wet lab work. They're essential for uncovering mechanisms behind antibiotic resistance, bacterial fitness, and virulence.
Combining these insights lays groundwork for novel strategies to combat #AMR pathogens.

During our stay in Kenya, we had the privilege to work alongside our incredible partners in the heart of the Masai Mara. Surrounded by thousands of cattle, we collected samples to study antimicrobial resistance in this stunning One Health setting.

At the beginning of June, part of the team spent two weeks in Kenya for a meeting with our cooperation partner at @ilri.org We also held a workshop at Maasai Mara University. Thank you for the impressive experiences we were able to gain with you, especially in the field work.🙏

Week two of the sampling in our #citizenscience project is wrapping up, but the lab work is just getting started🥼🧪. From the first samples, we were already able to isolate a strain that might be an ESBL-producing 𝘌. 𝘤𝘰𝘭𝘪🦠🔬. Curious to see what the upcoming samples will bring🤔. #OneHealth

#citizenscience #sciencecommunication: It's a lot of fun, and we're all learning together! We bring the knowledge from our #AMR science to the community. Together with pupils, we collect samples, and look at the AMR results. They are engaged, curious and full of new perspectives. #OneHealth
